Showing Treebook statuses in a "newest first" order

Hello,

This worked for me when I tried it. You will want to change your statuses controller to default showing status by newest first.

Right now the index method in the Statuses controller should read:

 @statuses= Status.all 

You will want to change that to:

@statuses = Status.order("created_at DESC").all

This should sort all statuses by newest first. I am not sure if there is a better way to do this or not, but this is what worked for me!

Hey Kevin Lehtiniitty,

I found out how to sort the status for the profile pages. It finally hit me today :p

You should have created another controller for the profile pages. In that controller in the show method you should have something like:

def show
@user = User.find_by_profile_name(params[:id])
if @user
  @statuses = @user.statuses.all
  render action: :show
else
  render file: 'public/404', status: 404, formats: [:html]
end

end

In that method you will need change the code to look almost like how it now looks in the statuses controller. it should look like:

def show
@user = User.find_by_profile_name(params[:id])
if @user
  @statuses = @user.statuses.order("created_at DESC").all
  render action: :show
else
  render file: 'public/404', status: 404, formats: [:html]
end

end

That will resort the statuses to show the newest status on top! Let me know if this doesn't work!

You could also do it this way, and I imagine if you added the .reverse onto the user.statuses.all it would work as well

def index
    @statuses = Status.all.reverse
  end
